Partner Tip: Uber SPA Forms 101

We’ve been getting a lot of questions about the Uber SPA Forms as well as requests for a copy of the Uber SPA Forms. So, we decided to post this Uber SPA 101 to help you with your TNVS requirements submission.

Why do I need to submit these Uber SPA Forms?

As a new Uber Partner, you’re required to upload the Uber SPA Form/s before Uber will activate your partner account. It’s very important to submit the SPA/s because you won’t be able to get activated and receive requests if you don’t submit.

From the vehicle, driver requirements and SPA/s you submitted, Uber will use these to apply for the Provisional Authority (PA) to LTFRB on your behalf.

There are 2 SPAs, which SPA do I need to submit?

TIPS: Quick guide to know which SPA you need to submit (refer to the infographic):

SCENARIO 1: If the Vehicle Owner will be the one to directly register as the Uber Partner, then, you only need to submit ONE (1) SPA which is SPA A: SPA with Uber. This SPA is to authorize Uber and its legal counsel to represent you for TNVS accreditation.

SCENARIO 2: If the Uber Registered partner is NOT the Vehicle Owner, you need to submit TWO (2) SPAs. Example, the car you’ll register to Uber is owned by a friend or kamag-anak but someone else will register as a Partner. In this scenario, the Vehicle Owner needs to execute 2 SPAs— one is to authorize Uber and its legal counsel to represent you for TNVS accreditation (SPA A) and the second one to authorize the Non-Vehicle Uber Registered Partner (SPA B) to represent you in all the transactions related to Uber.

Refer to the infographic for a summarized explanation. The differences between the two Uber SPA forms are described in detail below. You can also find the download links below.

SPA Requirements for Scenario 1

These requirements are for Uber Registered Partner who OWNS the vehicle.

Yes, Uber still accepts sign ups. Uber will activate you within 24-48 hours if you submit the required docs. Submit the requirements so when LTFRB resumes the applications, maipapasa agad ni Uber yung requirements ninyo.

Hi, I’m an uber driver. Just want to know if updated ba yung SPA form niyo for TNVS application with Pricewaterhousecoopers Buisness Services Philippines Co. Ltd., Atty. Cherry Ongson as the designated attorney-in-fact? Or should it be Quisumbi Torres Lawfirm with Attys. Calimon, Lazaro and Aguila? Or they are all okay depending on the location for application because Pricewaterhousecoopers is at Pasig City and Quisumbing is at Global Taguig? Need answer ASAP. Thanks!
